You need to unlock flying by visiting the Kozama’uka Aether Currents locations before you can ride your favourite flying mounts through the skies of one of the first zones in Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail.
Though you can collect a good portion of the Aether Currents in Kozama’uka as you work through the story, you’ll need to complete specific main quests and side quests to get the lot. Do this as you wrap up the zone, or once you’re done with the MSQ as a whole for some easy XP on a second class.

What are Aether Currents?
Aether Currents are collectibles you’ll find in each major zone from Heavensward onward. Collect the lot to unlock the ability to fly mounts in that specific zone.
Though most are collected out in the field, side-quests and main story quests reward the rest of the Aether Currents you’ll need to unlock flying in a zone.
It’s largely believed that the aether current system is in place to slow down the potential rapid consumption of expansion content. The main quests guide you along a specific path through a zone, encouraging you to take in the sights and sounds of each new location—aspects you might otherwise skip over due to the conveniences of flight.
For more Final Fantasy XIV pointers, check out how to unlock the Pictomancer class or where to unlock the Viper class. Both were introduced in the Dawntrail expansion, but it’s not immediately clear to find them.
